The Zen of Yarn
summary
Yarn claims a maintenance-first approach: Yarn 4 lands with defaults like immutable flag on CI and new PR checks to detect corrupted cache entries, a cross-platform shell implementation so scripts behave the same on Windows and Linux, and an automated benchmark suite that only flags dramatic regressions. Error codes link to actionable docs, plug-and-play work materially reduces ghost dependencies, contributors get a plugin API, and release tasks become a one-click GitHub Actions flow with automatic conflict resolution.
